BSEnvE Objectives and Outcomes

The BSEnvE curriculum is designed to meet the needs of all students. The faculty of the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) first developed the Program Educational Objectives for the BSEnvE degree in 2006 with the initial development of the degree program. Since that date, the objectives have been revised periodically to ensure timeliness and applicability to the School’s Mission statement.

CEE faculty derived a set of BSEnvE Student Outcomes from the BSEnvE Program Educational Objectives.

BSEnvE Program Educational Objectives:

Graduates will pursue a diverse range of careers that build on their engineering education.  During the initial years of their careers, graduates will:

  1. apply technical proficiency in the principles and methods essential to modern environmental engineering practice.
  2. demonstrate understanding of global, societal, environmental, and sustainability issues related to environmental engineering.
  3. exhibit effective communication, teamwork, entrepreneurial, and leadership skills.
  4. engage in ethical and responsible practice while pursuing professional growth.

BSEnvE Student Outcomes

Upon graduation, students will have attained:

  1. an bility to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering
  2. an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data
  3. an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, constructability, and sustainability
  4. an ability to function on multidisciplinary teams
  5. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems
  6. an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility
  7. an ability to communicate effectively
  8. the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context
  9. a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning
  10. a knowledge of contemporary issues
  11. an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.
